Rippling Software Engineer interview experience

If that went well, the process shifted into a 1-hour system design session, followed by a hiring manager call.

What stuck with me most wasn’t just the format, but the mismatch between what I’d heard about the culture elsewhere and how people behaved throughout the loop. Even though I was told to expect a particular style, the experience from recruiters through the hiring manager felt unprofessional to me, which honestly colored how I felt about the whole process. I didn’t end up getting an offer.
